The inspiring heroism of Aaron Swartz | Glenn Greenwald | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk: "wartz played a key role in developing the RSS software that is still widely used to enable people to manage what they read on the internet. As a teenager, he also played a vital role in the creation of Reddit, the wildly popular social networking news site. When Conde Nast purchased Reddit, Swartz received a substantial sum of money at a very young age. He became something of a legend in the internet and programming world before he was 18."

Lessig on the DoJ's vindictive prosecution of Aaron Swartz - Boing Boing
Lessig on the DoJ's vindictive prosecution of Aaron Swartz - Boing Boing: "Could he have been murdered by the government?..Why does a bright young man suddenly give up the fight he is passionate about?
To anyone who thinks this is not possible, well - yeah, i would take off the rose coloured glasses and consider every angle.

Lessig says "But anyone who says that there is money to be made in a stash of ACADEMIC ARTICLES is either an idiot or a liar", but CACM is full of liars, then. Then do exactly that."

RIP, Aaron Swartz - Boing Boing
RIP, Aaron Swartz - Boing Boing: "This morning, a lot of people are speculating that Aaron killed himself because he was worried about doing time. That might be so. Imprisonment is one of my most visceral terrors, and it's at least credible that fear of losing his liberty, of being subjected to violence (and perhaps sexual violence) in prison, was what drove Aaron to take this step.
But Aaron was also a person who'd had problems with depression for many years. He'd written about the subject publicly, and talked about it with his friends."
